conclusions relaxation with guided imagery had a positive effect on mediating anxiety and depression in breast cancer patients. results the experimental group showed significant decreases in insomnia (-0.34 ± 0.83, p < 0.05), pain (-0.28 ± 0.58, p < 0.05), anxiety (-3.56 ± 2.94, p < 0.00), and depression (-2.38 ± 2.70, p < 0.00) between the pretest and the posttest. comparing the two groups, st...

the evaluate the diagnostic value of image guided fine needle aspiration (fna) in breast lesions, the cytologic results of 401 patients were studied. all patients had either unpalpable masses or lesions who were hardly possible to localize by palpation and fna was performed by single radiologist under ultrasound guide in all cases. the cytologic results were divided into four categories (inconc...

The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) aptasensors combined with rolling circle amplification and bio-bar-coded AuNP enhancement have been applied to detect the human α-thrombin for the first time. The assay platform exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity with detection limit as low as 0.78 aM.

Phototherapy shows some unique advantages in clinical application, such as remote controllability, improved selectivity, and low bio-toxicity, than chemotherapy. In order to improve the safety and therapeutic efficacy, imaging-guided therapy seems particularly important because it integrates visible information to speculate the distribution and metabolism of the probe. Here we prepare biocompat...

NaY zeolite, an ordered, large pore molecular sieve pertaining to the FAU zeolite structural group, was studied as a novel matrix for efficient preparation of supported isothiazolinone-based biocide, and results were compared those corresponding mesoporous silicas. To analyze possibility reducing biocide ecotoxicity by encapsulation, commercial used latex preservation (CMIT/MIT) incorporated in...

The chemical laboratory measures used in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma have been evaluated. Bio-assay, fluorometric, and spectrophotometric methods were used. Urinary VMA and catechol amine values found for normal and hypertensive groups compared well with those reported by other investigators. The quantitative measurement of urinary VMA by means of a proposed ethyl acetate extraction prove...

bovine inorganic biomaterials and correlate them with the dissolution rate. Bio-Oss®, GenoxInorgânico®, and Bonefill® were examined using field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area (BET), calcium/phosphorous molar ratio and a dissolution assay. Bio-Oss® showed a microand nanoporous str...
